Summary
Grade II* listed and a Scheduled Monument. This church was one of Cheshire's Domesday Churches, when both the church and manor were held by the bishop. St Chad was the Bishop of Mercia and the dedication of the church suggest an important Saxon foundation. The church was rebuilt several times between the 16th and 19th centuries. Subsidence led to the tower leaning and the body of the church being demolished to its foundations in 1976. What survives of the church is the fine 15th century tower. Two fine monuments, a brass to Rafe Delves (died 1513) and a recumbent effigy of Thomas Smith (died 1614) are now stored in the tower .
